I’M glad to see both Labour politicians in Wayne David MP and Jeff Cuthbert AM have written a letter condemning the closure of the HSBC bank in Bargoed.

I hope they will write similar letters to the leaders of Labour-controlled Caerphilly council when the council starts cutting services and closing some council amenities. I hope they don’t use HSBC’s excuse that it’s down to money as, no doubt, the councillors will say.
